While I admit I hadn't really though much of it until now, such a conclusion makes a disturbing amount of sense considering:
- The Ron Paul-esque worship Elizabeth Warren gets and the draft to get her to challenge Clinton from the left even though she's declined,...while Bernie Sanders actually is running and is unambiguously more liberal than Warren, but where's his following?
- All those polls flaunted about how women are supposed to be more liberal and Democratic than men. And they are really supposed to like Obama.
Take these into account, and it's obvious that Conservadem women fly straight in the face of that. And regrettably, this gets voters and the media up in arms, even if the reality seemingly requires them and actions such as distancing from Obama.
But to be fair with Manchin, he ran in a Presidential year, which is obviously very different from a midterm.
Our society is sexist in general.
And this is an excellent short answer.
